The Golden Fleece Inn

The Golden Fleece Inn is a multi-award-winning inn and restaurant on the handsome market square of Tremadog, less than a mile from Porthmadog on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Combining characterful en-suite rooms with a genuinely excellent kitchen and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it makes a superb base for exploring this beautiful corner of North Wales — and dogs are welcome too.

An award-winning inn and restaurant in historic Tremadog

The Golden Fleece has built a strong reputation, and it shows. A four-star inn at the heart of Tremadog’s elegant planned square, it offers comfortable, tastefully decorated accommodation alongside one of the area’s most highly regarded bars and restaurants. It is the sort of place where you can eat exceptionally well, enjoy a relaxed drink, and then simply head upstairs — or out to one of the holiday cottages — for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Rooms and cottages

Accommodation comes in a range of en-suite rooms and suites, plus self-catering holiday cottages for those who prefer their own space. Open year-round and family-friendly, the inn is well set up for couples, families and groups alike, and there is 22kW electric-vehicle charging on site for those travelling by EV.

The bar and restaurant

Food is clearly taken seriously here. The kitchen serves fresh, locally sourced dishes — the inn even sources its meat from its own butchery — with plant-based options also on the menu, and breakfast, lunch and evening meals all available. Outside, a beer garden and terrace, with covered and heated areas, make a lovely spot for a drink or a meal whatever the Welsh weather decides to do.

Tremadog, Porthmadog and Snowdonia

Tremadog is a striking early 19th-century planned village — famously the birthplace of T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) — with its elegant square just a short hop from the harbour town of Porthmadog. The area is a paradise for days out: the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland steam railways, the magical Italianate village of Portmeirion, the vast expanse of Black Rock Sands and the mountains of Snowdonia are all close at hand. Porthmadog railway station is around 0.6 miles away, with Portmeirion roughly four miles on. For more places to stay in the area, see our guide to Porthmadog accommodation.

The combination of great food, comfortable rooms and a brilliant location makes the Golden Fleece a genuine destination in its own right, not just somewhere to lay your head. You can spend the day on the steam railways or the beaches, return for an excellent dinner without having to drive anywhere, and round things off with a drink in the heated garden. With pets welcome and a relaxed, family-friendly feel, it suits couples, families and walking groups alike — and the option of a self-catering cottage adds flexibility for longer or larger stays.
